Notes in an unknown hand concerning the Blackface-Southdown cross of sheep, 30 November 1914
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/20/28
Scope and Contents
The notes record that there is now a small healthy flock of Blackface-Southdown sheep crosses. The first generation has already given straightforward results and the saleable value of the fleeces and carcases have been judged favourably. It is likely that this experiment will be extended by the purchase of more Blackface ewes and a new Southdown ram, although a reciprocal crossing with Southdown ewes should ideally be carried out on a Sussex farm where the ewes would be in their natural climate. He recommends that Alex Cowan should be consulted in the selection of the Blackface ewes.
